The Development of Moles
Moles develop when a type of skin cells (melanocytes) which give us our skin color grow in clusters than being uniformly distributed. This is the reason why moles are darker than the surrounding skin. Usually triggered by hormonal changes throughout our lives caused by teen age, pregnancy and sunlight.
Ways To Remove Moles At Home

Castor oil is known to have the ability to disperse pathological growth (discutient) which makes this remedy successful. You will be left with no scar with this treatment.
This is how to proceed:

- Tea Tree Oil
Tea tree oil works best on raised moles with hair on them. With its anti bacterial properties, tea tree oil will protect the mole from having other infections during the treatment. Some people can be sensitive to tea tree oil. You may want to try it on your hand for a night and see if it doesn't sting, burning or cause any other discomfort.
Applying tea tree oil is easy, here is how:
- get a drop of tea tree oil on a q-tip

- Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple Cider Vinegar works by slowly burning moles, causing them to scab and fall off. Other than being a strong natural acid, apple cider vinegar also has anti-bacterial properties which protect moles from any other infections during the treatment.
Before you use this treatment, you will need to make sure you can support apple cider vinegar on your skin as it is very strong. Apply a little bit on the top of your hand and leave for some time. If it stings, burns or causes discomfort then this treatment is not for you.
If you can handle apple cider vinegar, here's how to proceed:
- dip a cotton ball or piece of fabric in apple cider vinegar
- put on your mole
- hold in place with band-aid or adhesive bandage depending on the size of your mole
- leave overnight
- remove and rinse with warm water
- repeat for two weeks
This method should get rid of your mole in about ten days. If your mole doesn't seem to be affected by this treatment, you may rub your mole with a pumice stone before applying apple cider vinegar. This might be a bit painful since you will be removing a thin layer of the top skin. But this should allow the mole to burn faster.
- Garlic
As simple as this sounds, you can use garlic to get rid of moles. Garlic contains enzymes that break down the 'malfunctioning' cell structures that get together to create moles. For this treatment you will just need a garlic clove, in fact just a slice of garlic. Here is how to apply:
- put the slice of the mole
- hold in place with band-aid
- leave overnight
- rinse with warm water in the morning
Garlic can sting the skin a little bit but in a day or two you will get used to it. Repeat the treatment every night. You should get results in a few weeks.
- Banana Peels
We usually just throw away banana peels not knowing all the remedial sides that they have. For best results using this treatment you will need the peel of a ripe banana, that is the ones which turned dark or getting black.
What you need to do is cut a piece of the peel and apply as follows:
- place the inside of the peel on the mole (the 'smooth' side facing up)
- hold in place with band-aid or adhesive bandage
- repeat daily
Your mole will start fading in a few weeks, continue the treatment till your mole completely goes away.
